5.4 Self-checking
Self-checking can test whether the printer is working well or not, if it can print
The test list correctly, that means the printer is good enough (which is excluding the
problem with the connected interface to PC); otherwise, it needs repair.
Self-checking could print software version number, print density, interface type,
English character and some Chinese characters by order.
Self-checking procedure:Make sure the printer is connected to the
power, then press the feed key and switch on the power supply while the key is still
under pressing. At the same time, the printer begins to self-checking. Please loosen
the key within five seconds and the printer would print the self-testing list after it.

5.5.3 Paper near end detection function(Alternative)
When the paper is near to use out, the light coupling sensor can sense the status,
on the printer up face PAPER light will turn on. The working principle is as follow: in
the printer paper house, the paper roll height is higher than the height of the light
coupling, means there is enough paper, the PAPER light will be off. The paper roll
height is lower than the light coupling, means there is little paper, and the PAPER
light will be on.

(2) Some longitudinal columns on the printing page is vague;
(3) Loud noise when feeding.
Procedure of maintaining the print roll is listed below:
(1) Turn off the power supply and open the top cover.
(2) Use the cotton cloth and dip it in the absolute ethyl alcohol to clean the surface of
print roll.
(3) When the absolute ethyl alcohol is completely volatilized, please close the top
cover.
Notice:
16
(1) The power supply of printer should be turned off when the routine
maintenance.
(2) Do not use hand or metal to touch the surface of print head and not use
tweezers to scratch the superficies of print head, print roll or sensor.
(3) Do not use oil or acetone to do the maintenance.
(4) When the absolute ethyl alcohol is completed volatilized, then turn on the
power to print.
Ⅻ. Fault treatment
When the printer appears faults, please fix them correspondingly referring to this
section. If it still can’t work, please contact the distributor or manufacturer.
12.1 When indicators light on the control board is out
Check whether the power wire inserts the printer, power adaptor or power socket
correctly. Check whether the power switch is on or off.
12.2 The indicator light is on, while the printer can’t work
Do the self-checking to check whether the printer can work normally. If not,
please contact the distributor or technical support.
17
If the self-checking can work, please check the following contents:
(1) Check the interfaces of printer and computer and also check whether the
connected line between them is to their specification requirement.
(2) The setting of data transmission between printer and computer may be different.
You know the printer’s interface setting through the self-testing page. Please
contact the agent or technical support if the printer cannot print.
ⅰ. Printer driver
Two types of drive for 80mm thermal receipt printer: one is installed directly
under Windows9x/7/8/10/ME/2000/XP/Linux/Mac, the other is to drive through
Ethernet.
(1) Install driver under Windows
Add printer in the Windows, and appoint the driver documents in the driver disk
to Windows. It can print once you start print command in the program. In this way,
Windows’ printer driver turns characters to graphics dot-matrix for printing.
(2) Install driver by Interface
In this way, no need for drive program. It can print just when it output character
to port and the hard font inside printer realizes the character exchange printing. By
port for driver, the printing type transforms page printing to line printing, which
controls printing more conveniently.
If you use port driver, it need instruction set to control printing of the printer,
while 80mm thermal receipt printer have already integrated ESC/POS instruction set
inside the printer.
